    "Dog owners would not like that there is not a lot of grass and lots of trash on the sidewalks. However, there are dog parks nearby that you can drive to."

    "No noteworthy community events worth mentioning.. it’s quite unfortunate to be honest, the area has a lot of potential and is due for a renaissance."

    "I commute to La Mesa so I never deal with Traffic, but the west bound 8 is a parking lot. The majority of houses are rented by college students, they are young and understandably want to have fun. I say leave the area to them. "

    "There are not any walkable parks in the area, but it's a nice neighborhood overall. The hills make it difficult to walk around a lot with a stroller, unless you're up for a workout. "
